DisplayPort Adapters Getting Stuck
I have a Quadro 5000 that came with a Dell T7600. I'm having a problem
where I cannot remove the DisplayPort to HDMI adapters I am using. I have tried at least three different varieties, and all of them consistently get "stuck" in the DisplayPort. I'm sensing there must be a release mechanism but I don't see one. How do you release a DisplayPort connector? -- W |

As usual, the drawing does not show what parts of the assembly move, rotate or pivot. I would guess, depressing the plastic bit with the triangle on it, causes the latch pins near the end of the cable connector, to disengage from the matching holes on the receptacle. You would need to examine the cable connector when outside the video card, to see if you can get any movement from the latch pins. So they can be moved out of the way. Other than that, the receptacle has spring compression points, which provide friction retention. Paul |

It looks like all DisplayPort cables have some variation on this pressure sensitive lock. To release the cable you have to find the pressure latch and push down before you pull out the cable. -- W |
